i feel so stupid but for the past week i have been scared

Now that you say it - I have had some nightmares recently. I didn't know that this could be the cause. I neve thought of that. Thanks

No worries. The main thing is not to be so hard on yourself. There is no need to feel stupid about something like this. The only way to stop is continuing is to try and understand it.

You are so kind

It may be that it's related to stress! Are you still having the nightmares?

I have had nightmars and don't know why I am having them. It is not something that usually happens to me.

I am glad that you found out what th problem was and got it cleared up. I do think that it is anxiety. Many thanks

It could be that it has been creeping up inside you all of these weeks and just lately showing you what it has, your mind is a powerful thing.

Yes, I do miss them szo much. But they left August 8th and that is 5 or 6 weeks? This has just started. Oh enjoy your GD - I hope that you have a wonderful visit.

You could be right. My son is due on the Island tomorrow from Dubai - so I will gt all of th news then and photos of them. Perhaps this couples with the fact that one of my best friends is in Florida having treatment and I don't think that she is going to get better. I never thought of these reasons - so thank you

Thank you so much. Many mylotters who know my story worked out that it was anxiety as until last month I had my grand twins living with me whilst their Mother worked in Dubai - 4 hours from Iraq! I am missing them so very much

Thank you - I will try it tonight. I am afraid of going to sleep - it is not insomnia - I do know that. I will try the milk. Thanks for the suggestion

nO, MY INSURANCE DOES NOT COVER A THERAPIST. WISH IT DID! OOps = went into caps. Sorry. I think it is anxiety over not having my grand twins.They lived with me for 17 months whilst their mother was teaching in Dubai - near Iraq. she has now taken them back with her as they are old enough to go to nursery school. My son is there to settle them in but will return tomorrow. I think that I am worrying that hey will miss their Daddy so much.and they are so far from home. Many thanks for your input.

Some people have responded with ideas and I think that they are right. May be delayed anxiety over losing the twins and also a GF is in Florida for treatment and it is so serious.

Everything can just pile up on u sometimes. U had a tramatic time w/the twins leaving. i was afraid it would catch up w/you. Life can get tedious sometimes. U take care of yourself.

Thank you so much dear friend. I know that I can rely in you. I am thinking that I am missing the twins - it has all caught up with me plus a GF of mine is not doing so well and is in Florida for treatment and I cannot afford to call her as much as I would like.

I am still cheerful but my friends here at Mylot - including you - I think have found the solution. I so miss my grand twins around and then my son comes home tomorrow from Dubai. Actually he stopped off in London for 3 days to see his brother and my sisters etc before coming to th Island tomorrow. I think that I have been worrying how the twins will be without him around on a daily basis. He has never left them for any extended period of time since they were born. So I think that this is it. However, my grand son told his mother to call me as he wants to speak to me. So she called and I spoke with both of them today. They asked me to sing their bed time song as when they called it was their bed time. So I did and then they said that they love me and will come home next summer. They don't know what summer is yet. It is good to keep in contact with them. I think that I was worrying subconsciously. Tonight I will try to sleep without taking the tylenol pm! Blessings

Ahh!1 almost forgot to add, do you take heavy dinner? Maybe you should even avoid non-veg for the dinner. maybe you can give it a try and see if it helps. At days when I am just struck in the office and there are not much physical activities involved in, I prefer just to have a glass of milk as dinner. It could help.

Thank you so much. You are a very wise person and I do so appreciate this response. I m working though this and I think that I may be a bit depressed as a good friend of mine is seriously ill and I miss my grand twins who used to live with me. Their mother was working in Dubai and now she has taken them as they are older and can go to school.

Everything passes int he end so I know that I wil. I think it is because the twins have left my home and now they are on the other side of the world - 4 hours from Iraq!

Oh I am so sorry tha tyo are living in fear. Is there no one to help you?

Thak you. I think that it is stress. Blessings

Yes. Yo are rihgt. It could ne that I am missing the twins plus a good friend of mine is seriously ill in Florida

Hi Kathy - with the help of everyone here I am thinking It is anxiety over losing my twins plus my son will be back on the Island tomorrow and I am worrying how they will cope without their Daddy. They will miss him so very much. I also pray unceasingly thorughout the day and have got into the habit of asking for forgiveness of sins several times a day, Does tylenol pm have any side effects tha tyou know of?

I never have had any side effects from it and I've been taking it for a long time now. It's not addictive, either, which is what I like about it. My sister takes it a lot, too, but she takes it mainly for pain, I think. I hope your kids will do wel when they come to see you. Kathy.

I apologise in taking so long to respond to your response. The past few weeks have been stress laden as I did not know if I would have a job. Well, I went to a meeting yesterday and I do have a job for another year and last night I slept for 9 hours! I went out like a light so I expect it was stress and worry that was keeping me awake. Many thanks for your input and again, sincere apologies for my delay.
